Thanks for visiting us at Old World Wisconsin! You are right--we love answering our guests' questions. It's such a great chance to share what we do and tailor our experience to their interests. And we also love offering children and adults the opportunities to try some of the same hands-on activities that Wisconsin's original settlers did. Check our website early next year--we're offering even more hands-on fun! Thanks for your post.
Thanks for the great review and rating! Many of our guests are surprised by how very big our site is. We're grateful for the help of our fantastic corps of volunteers who take on many important roles. Our historic buildings are staffed by paid interpretive staff that goes through rigorous training before sharing what we do with guests. Thanks for your suggestion to allow for much time to fully explore Old World Wisconsin. Happy travels!
We love hearing "we had a blast." Thanks for visiting and for your wonderful review. Our team takes pride in maintaining historical accuracy while providing an engaging guest experience and your comments make it seem that we hit the mark. We hope you're able to visit again soon.
Interesting visit back in time to rural Wisconsin. Visited at Chrismas time when the buildings were decorated (appropriately to the historical setting.) Learned some interesting things, worth a visit.
Thanks for your review! We hope you come back and visit us again soon--we have even more hands-on activities like "Life on the Farm" where you can put on wooden barn shoes and help the farmer and farm wife with chores like checking the chicken coop for eggs. And this season we launched "Catch Wheel Fever!" which is an interactive 1890s cycling experience--with reproduction tricycles from the era that you can actually ride. Plus lots more, including many expanded and new special events.
It's a two hours drive from Chicago and one hour drive from jelly belly retail store.This was the second attraction on our roadtrip from Chicago. We arrived at noon and had enough time to see 70% of the attractions and it can certainly take a whole day.The entrance fees were 41$ for 2 adults and a 7 yo, kids under 5 don't pay.Parking is near the visitor center where there is a small place to eat and also a small gift shop and there is also where you buy tickets.From there you go by trum to all the "stations". The trum goes every 15 min. There are many things to do and see and they are very nice, also the staff is very welcoming and knowledgeable. My kids loved best the blacksmith ( which is quiet a character), and mowing the lawn and working in the wood workshop in the german farms.The point is that for adults it's great and it's an interactive history museum. For kids, espcially the younger ones it may be a bit boring between the highlites were they get to do things and they may get restless. Maybe things are more exciting in special days when they have extra attractions.One more thing to remember - no food after the visitor center, bring some with you.Overall nice, wouldn't go out of my way to visit.
